The present study aimed to identify the technologies used by nurses to promote patient safety in hospital settings. Integrative review, with search of articles in databases in the health area, from January to February, 2016. Twenty articles were selected and sorted according to the assistive technologies used. In the promotion of patient safety, nurses use hard technologies – implementation of electronic records, automated drug infusion pumps, sensors and computer-based monitoring systems. They also incorporate good practices in health - construction of instruments targeted to patient safety and identification of risks, and promote/ participate in professional training courses – calculation and administration of medications and intravenous infusions and hand hygiene. It is concluded that nursing professionals are concerned with patient safety, which reinforces the need to conduct further studies on the use of relevant strategies.
